Odontogenic fibromyxoma of left maxilla - A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Odontogenic myxoma is a locally invasive benign mesodermal tumour found exclusively in the jaws comprising 3-6% of all odontogenic tumors. It usually occurs in the second and third decade of life commonly involving the mandible as compared to maxilla. Its variable clinical and radiological appearance makes the diagnosis difficult. Here we present a case report of a 30 year old female with a swelling in the left maxilla. The clinical findings made us suspect a case of radicular cyst with the carious molar. However, the radiological and subsequent histopathological examination established a final diagnosis of odontogenic fibromyxoma.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a non-aggressive slow growing epithelial odontogenic tumor with varied clinical and microscopic features. This neoplasm rarely appears as a completely cystic lesion histopathologically; therefore, oral pathologists should be aware of the various histopathologic types of this lesion.

Fibromyxoma represents a rare benign neoplasm that mostly affects the posterior region of the mandible. Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old male with a swelling of the right maxilla. After proper diagnosis, he was treated with enucleation and curettage of the tumor. The defect was filled with a pedicled buccal fat pad flap. The mesenchymal origin from the dental follicle of the fibromyxom...
متن کاملOdontogenic Fibromyxoma of Maxilla: A Rare Case Report
Fibromyxoma is a rare odontogenic tumour which is benign, but locally aggressive. The etiology of these tumours is unknown, but because of its limitation to the teeth bearing areas and occasional presence of odontogenic epithelial fragments within the tumour which suggest that it is of odontogenic origin. It is a slow growing painless tumour that frequently occurs in second and third decades of...
